>>2478997Listen to this guy. Also consider that even if you had to replace your tent every year for about $800-$1k, that would still be a cost orders of magnitude less than any other shelter option.
I think the real mistake is adopting the mindset that shelter should be permanent. No tribal society had this assumption, aside perhaps from those that lived in caves. Indeed there are plenty of advantages to working with new material vs constantly trying to maintain a failing structure. The Japanese do it right and consider houses to be depreciating consumer goods, to be torn down and replaced every 30 years or so.
